“I’m told that the Perikatan Nasional has a grand plan to entice our people, with posts, money and other means. They are also practicing intimidation, using the MACC and other agencies to get our people to change their chance.

“We have proof of their enticement, so I hope that the MACC will take note of these elements. This is real intimidation and corruption. How can you bribe people with posts and positions? The mandate was given to us to run the state. Sabah chief minister Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal said that those absent had given him reassurance they are still behind the Warisan-led state government. — Picture by Julia Chan“We can work together as a federal and state government in the interest of the people, but when it comes to politics, do not play. When Parliament comes, you can be sure I won’t sit quietly.
“Limus is in KL for a meeting, and Ratib is in his constituency, there is no truth to the rumours,” he said.
